More Hip Injury Facts:

The hip joint (scientifically known as the acetabulofemoral joint) is a special type of 'ball-and-socket' joint. Its primary function is to support the weight of the body when at rest or while in motion.

Many patients with Hip Pain are actually diagnosed as suffering from Sciatica. Sciatica is best treated non-surgically with cold compression, therapeutic ultrasound and BFST.

The majority of chronic hip problems are a result of aging, disease (such as arthritis) and fractures.

A Hip Replacement is a surgical procedure that replaces the hip joint with an artifical joint. Many MendMyHip customers have sped up their post-surgery recovery time with our therapeutic tools.

Bursitis of the Hip (trochanteric bursitis) is so painful, many sufferers rely on a wheelchar for mobility. Hip Bursitis is the condition that responds extremely well to ultrasound treatments.

The most common injury in the hip is snapping hip syndrome due to a tight illotibial band. This syndrome responds very well to BFST treatments.

Hip Dislocations are very serious but uncommon injuries that occasionally can occur (usually from a traumatic event). If you suspect you have a dislocated hip, please seek medical attention immediately.

What Are Trigger Points?

Trigger points are specific, hyperirritable and hypersensitive areas in muscle that cause the muscle to suffer from decreased blood circulation, increased contraction and spasm, and a build up of toxins and waste. Lack of circulation creates a high level of toxins and increased nerve sensitivity which can range from a low ache to a sharp pain.

Healthy muscle fibers are neither contracted nor stretched when they are at rest. When contracted the muscle fibers are closer together and when stretched, further apart. In a muscle that is causing trigger point pain, the fiber develops a knot and is in a constant state of contraction. The fiber around these knots is stretched by the excess tension and the muscle fiber becomes tighter. With the continuous contraction, blood flow is restricted in the trigger point area and essential oxygen and nutrients are prevented from reaching the muscle tissue. Toxins and waste build up in the muscle causing you pain, tension, irritation, and spasm.

In the case of trigger points in the hip, just because the trigger point causes the pain does not mean that the location of the trigger point itself is painful. When the pain is located at a tense muscle spot it is called a primary trigger point. However, pain can also manifest itself in areas away from the active trigger point - such pain is called referred pain. It is important to treat the trigger point that causes the referred pain and not the location of the pain itself.

Tigger points cause pain more often than any other condition and are drastically under-diagnosed due to lack of information. Trigger point pain is usually a factor in most injuries although treating the trigger points is often overlooked. A common condition related to triggers points is known as myofascial pain.

Symptoms of Trigger Point Pain

The trigger point will usually become more tender or sting when you push on the spot and the referred pain will increase in intensity. Other symptoms include:

you will feel a knot or hard lump at the spot

the muscle may twitch when the spot is pushed

a deep ache over the hip, buttocks, and/or down the leg

sharp pain on the hip, buttocks, and thigh

Causes of Trigger Point Pain

Tender trigger points typically develop from lack of stretching or improper stretching but can also be caused from stress/trauma, overuse or overburdening of a muscle and poor posture. Other common causes are:

sitting without firm back support (slumped posture)

prolonged sitting in a chair without armrests, or armrests that are too high, or too low (leaning to one side)

one leg shorter than the other

prolonged improper sleeping position

bending, lifting, digging or vacuuming while twisting

swinging a golf club

immobility for long periods of time (i.e. plane rides, working at a computer, resting on a couch for another injury)

walking with a cane that is too long

Reduced circulation in trigger points will eventually lead to muscle shortening and restricted movement which further accentuates the pain, thus completing a cycle of decreased mobility and further pain. This commonly becomes the underlying cause of chronic hip pain and tight hip flexors, and the patient will continue to suffer from these until the problem trigger points are treated directly.

Mild Trigger Points can be addressed sometimes through massage and some sufferers maintain that acupuncture treats these problems as well, though it is not accepted by many medical institutions. Permanent removal of chronic trigger points and conditions caused by this, typically requires treatment using BFST®.

Treating Trigger Point Pain - What You Can Do!

If you have pain in your hip, buttock, lower back and thigh caused by tense, constricted muscles Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy™ is the most effective treatment for your trigger points. The trick to getting rid of th pain is loosening the knots to release the constricted muscle fibers. This will allow blood to flow through the fibers once again, bringing the vital oxygen and nutrients required for healthy tissue. The most effective and painfree way to loosen the knots is with the Inferno Wrap®.

In addition, you want to get your muscle tissue back in the best possible condition you can. To do this, it is important to treat the scar tissue that forms in the muscle when the damaged tissue begins to heal - something the Inferno Wrap® is great at! Even with optimum healing, there is always less elasticity in previously injured muscles fibers. However, if you heal your trigger point pain properly with BFST® and treat scar tissue build up, your chance of chronic trigger point pain and hip conditions later on is much lower than average.

There are healing tools that can help treat your hip muscle trigger point pain and speed up the healing process so you can get back to a life without further pain. Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy™ (BFST®) will loosen the knots at the trigger points, treat scar tissue, and promote blood flow to loosen your constricted muscles and heal the fibers faster and more completely than any other methods available.

Once the inflammation caused by the trigger points has been reduced through use of the Freezie Wrap®, nourishing and strengthening the muscle tissue and surrounding area is recommended. Using Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy™ will speed your recovery, increase elasticity of your treated muscles and help heal your hip more completely. Talk to your doctor or physical therapist to find out which exercises are appropriate for your situation.

Inferno Wrap® Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy™

After severe inflammation and swelling is reduced you can begin to treat your hip muscles with Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy™ (BFST®). BFST® increases the amount of blood that flows naturally to your shoulder to nourish your soft tissue to speed healing.

The hip naturally receives a limited blood supply and when you stop moving your leg and hip because of the pain, the blood flow is reduced even further limiting your body's natural ability to heal itself.

An Inferno Wrap® is the tool you need to treat your sore hip because it speeds healing and relaxes the surrounding muscles. With BFST®, tissues are safely and gently stimulated. Your body responds with a rapid increase in blood flow to the area, increasing the supply of oxygen and nutrients to injured tissue cells to promote healing. Our Back/Hip Inferno Wrap® provides effective, non-invasive, non-addictive pain relief and healing with no side effects.

In addition, the improved blood flow whisks away dead cells and toxins that have built up from your trigger point pain. When you stop moving your hip and leg due to pain, your muscles and other tissue can become weaker and dead cells and toxins in the area can cause further tissue deterioration - this can lead to atrophy. By clearing the area of toxins and increasing the amount of oxygen and nutrients to your muscle and other tissue, the risk of atrophy (muscle weakness and/or deterioration) is greatly reduced. Keeping your leg, hip, and buttock muscle tissue as healthy as possible throughout the healing process will allow you to improve hip strength and flexibility once your pain has gone and your trigger point pain has healed.

Dear MendMeShop,

Dear Paul,
I wanted to e-mail you and let you know how things are going. In your last e-mail to me you made a very profound statement that I had never heard before. I have been to several doctors over the past 10 years and not any one of them ever told me that snapping hip syndrome was a manifestation of short leg syndrome.
I truly think that many of my problems are layers that have had to have been slowly peeled away to find out what the problem is that is causing each and every one of them.
I thought about the statement that you made and I applied it.
Several years back I had a chiropractor tell me that I had short leg syndrome and that I had fallen arches in my right foot and leg. He ordered me an orthotic and a lift to make up the difference. My foot hurt all the time and my right hip hurt all the time and so I stoppd wearing them. A few years later I discovered that I had a bad right ovary. Once I had a doctor that agreed that it was bad and removed it and all that pain went away I was left with my right foot hurting. I found arch supports that made that better but then I had the bursitus and snapping hip syndrome symptoms.
No Doctor knew what to do for me and basically tried to give me pain medication to cover it up. I don't want to cover anything up. I want to find the root of the problem and treat it. So, I got to thinking about your statement. (I know it seems like I am going around this same tree, but I will get there) My thought was that because of the pain I was suffering from my ovary, maybe with that all gone I should try the lifts again and see what happens. I am telling you...that one little statement you made took care of my bursitis and my snapping hip syndrome.
I am no longer suffering from any of that. I am sleeping well at night. Thank you for your statement.
You just don't know how much that has meant to me. You don't know me, you have never met me but you literally saved the quality of my life. It took me a few days after I read your e-mail to put two and two together so to speak but it was worth trying again. Thank you so much.
